Photography exhibition developed by Outlandish (Thierry Vandenbussche) in collaboration with Pierre Debroux.
Outlandish - platform for young photography, is offered an exhibition space by arts centre Recyclart for 2 years now. The space is located in the neighbourhood Les Marolles, in one of spaces under the railways of the train station Brussel-Kapellekerk; a place difficult to generate a large public since it is located outside the larger urban cultural axes of the centre of Brussels.
Paradoxically, though the neighbourhood of the station is little frequented, thousands of commuters are passing by, by train, straight above the gallery space. This was the main trigger to organise this extra-muros exhibition. And so Outlandish engages to encounter the public space and to enlighten the neighbourhood with a backlit system to expose a selection of photographs, mounted in an empty office building close to the tracks (building Group S). The exhibition will be visible when the sun is down, in the morning and in the evening. The exhibition, titled 'getting down to the nitty-gritty', offers to the commuters on the north-south train connection a moment of respiration and escape on the trip that brings them to work, school or wherever they need to be.
Sometimes playful, contemplative and open to multiple interpretations, the selected work questions the possibility to be creative with or to escape from the objects and actions from everyday life, the simple thing that really matters... the nitty-gritty!
The exhibition is best seen from the train between Midi and Central station.
DIEHL starts its “Flaneur” selection with 42 works of the Soviet photo journalist Dmitry Baltermants. Best known for his pictures of the Soviet battlefield during World War II.
During World War II, Baltermants covered major battles for Izvestia and for the Red Army newspaper Na Razgrom Vraga. He fought and photographe...
Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
